I also do not disagree with any of their picks and the winners deserved the wins. My concern was not that I didn't place but that they seemingly summerly dismissed mine with a single glance. In all probability this was likely due to the shear volume and time crunch.

Was my first show so I don't really know. I believe the rules say that the judges may touch but I didn't see any do it there. Keep in mind that these guys are fanatics so even if they do touch your model they are going to know how and be very very careful. Very strict rules against the attendees touching anything. Automatic ejection from show.

Post covid over eagerness? Looking at the other big shows I see they all require preregistration so they know exactly how many there would be and be prepared.

There were a few rusty vehicles but they were completely rusty not just bits of rust and dull paint. There was one large model of an abandoned woody wagon that was completely rusty that took many awards. The "rust" look consisted of a perfectly even airbrushed coat of brown paint over the entire model. No variation, no different shades just one tone of rust. It was a very cool model (I think it was scratch built) but the rust was not convincing to me at all. Nothing rusts completely the same. Eventually the one model magazine will have pictures of some of the stuff.

No surprise they all appear to have just rolled off the assembly line! Here is one of the very rare ones on there that is "weathered"

To me, the unweathered models look too much like a....... model.
